Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / General Car Topics / March 2004Automotive trivia challenge
A question was raised that was a bit uncommon and I figured I would run it by everyone here to see if you could all reach deep into the recesses of your memories and provide some info on it. I figure that with the collective knowledge pool available here we can come up with something pretty definite. Were there cars made that were short-wheelbase hatchbacks and rear wheel drive, besides the Chevette? Perhaps the Pinto, but that's not really the shape I'm looking for. Every other car (Rabbit, Omni, etc) in that shape has been front wheel drive. All info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time, John Ummmmm...Gremlin, Pacer? > A question was raised that was a bit uncommon and I figured I would > run it by everyone here to see if you could all reach deep into the [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Thanks for your time, > John Good choices. The Gremlin is cool in its goofy way. :) A friend had 1972 Gremlin when I was in high school... He beat the daylights out of that thing. It started out as a Gremlin X but got a straight-6 and a 3-speed stick transplanted into it. Thanks for the info, John > Ummmmm...Gremlin, Pacer?

I always though it was FWD. Learn something new every day, huh? :) THanks for the info.

Bubba, The World's Greatest Fisherman TANSTAAFL Those are definitely neat. How is parts availability for those? John > How about the one that started the hatchback craze?

You can actually build a brand new 1970 MGB GT like mine out of the Moss catalogue. 'course it would be very expensive. Just a little trivia. Ford designed the Pinto to compete with the MGB GT, thus starting the hatchback competition. > Those are definitely neat.

I had forgotten all about Moss Motors. I actually got a catalog from them years ago in the mid 90s. John > Not a problem.

Those Toyotas will go forever, from what I've seen. John > circa 1980 - toyota corolla....had one for a while |
